I want to include a new section in the NEWS file, covering some of the major
changes for 5.3. This is for the really significant changes, not just new
features.
Here's what I've got so far. Thoughts? Things I missed?
*5.3*
*** Important Notes ***
Several very significant changes have been made in Net-SNMP for this
release that warrant special attention.
- shared library version number no longer matches the release number. We
now follow the versioning scheme recommended by libtool.
- snmpd has not been truncating log files at startup, as documented in
the man pages, for a while now. This default behaviour has been restored.
Please use the '-A' flag if you want to continue appending to your log
files at startup.
- snmptrapd will no longer accept all traps by default. It
must be configured with acceptable SNMPv1/v2c community strings and/or
SNMPv3 authentication parameters. Non authenticated traps/informs will
be dropped.
- due to licensing issues, snmpnetstat has be re-implemented. The command
line options have changed, but a wrapper script is available.
New:

NOTE: messages sent directly to me, instead of the lists, will be deleted
unless they are requests for paid consulting services.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
